Hi there! I am brand new to AI automations and am trying to figure out how to download Image URLs. I have managed to gather all of the Image urls from a webpage into Google Sheets, but now I am stuck on how to download the Image URLs…either to my computer or to a google drive…either would be great! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Welcome to the Make community!
To do this, you can try using the Google Drive “Upload a File” module —
Uploads a new file.
For more information, see https://www.make.com/en/integrations/google-drive, and https://www.make.com/en/help/app/google-drive in the help centre.
Does the Module Require You to Map File Data?
Did you forget to download the file using the file’s link/URL? If it’s not downloaded to the scenario, the next module can’t access the file binary data (contents).
To do this, you can use the HTTP “Get a File” module with the file URL that you need to download. Your file has to be publicly accessible on the internet (doesn’t require authentication).
For more information, see the HTTP page in the Make Help Centre.
Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —

P.S.: Investing some effort into the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make.
Thanks for this info! Is is possible to hire someone to set this up for me?
